Honestly, I think denim is one thing that you shouldn't compromise on. Just splurge and get that one really nice pair of jeans in exactly your size. Don't settle for a 31 or 33 at Nordstrom Rack if you're a 32. Buy the perfect jean and wear the shit out of it. I paid close to $300 for my Nudie RRDS about 6 mo. ago, worn em everyday since, never washed em. If you think about that, you probably wash a normal pair of jeans once a week? That's $5 a week, $20 a month, $120 for six months. Plus, multiple pairs of jeans. Just splurge on em, you will thank yourself later.

seriously the fit should be as important as the price...dont settle for something you dont want...only casue the price or the brand

man still havent found my perfect size, i like loose fit usually cuz i can run in them and when i sit down my socks dont show but long enough so i can show a little cuff. i kno my waist size is 30 but whats a good length size to fit my needs? im about 5'7" and skinny

paper denim and etiene ozeki can be found for well under 100$. as far as dry denim goes, you know theres a premium to be paid for that. jack and mabel has a good deal on nudie SSDry's for about 115 shipped. of course theres very good deals to be found thrifting through your town.

how about some cheap mondays and some levi's 501 stf..they are easily under $100 and still has a decent fit..also try guess and buffalo if you want to thrift more..if you really want to get some DEALS try tj maxx and feline's basement..got some premium denim there for around $40-100..

does anyone know the name or type or whatever of those uniqlo jeans? i have a relative visiting and im gonna ask them to cop some for me....

selvedge is a denim making process ...more durable...cost more...softer and has a few more special characteristics that projectile loom denim doesnt

raw is a wash of jean..the wash is called raw which means theres no wash. the jean is made from cloth...folded up and sold..thats it. no wash no distress. just the plainest jean which means its dark, its going to shrink and it will fade and bleed. but you want all that
